Beef Eating.

Why farmers eat SO little beef has, we
confess. always been something we failed
to understand. All of them are beef
raisers to some extent. aud at this sea
son of the year the cattle are generally
in good condition. yet not one in five
kills one beef annually. A yearliug or
wo-year-old hefsr well fatted can b.
bought in tho country at two cents per
pound gross, eau be butchered at lutte
or no cost, makes a change Of diet that
is wholesome, aud one that is relished
by every member of the family yet the
!. fact is as stubborn as ever, that farmers
lat but little beef. We allure to the
subject now because We think ali can see
the economy Of il, since pork is likely
to be higher than for several years. An
other view. We save the wintsring Of
these young and in many instances un-
profitable cattle, all of which is an argu-
ment in favor Of killing them in the fall
or early winter There is, besides, the
change Of diet, and the economy of this
system Of living. the luxury of good
diied beef. aud miuce pic that follows
as its corr,llary Try more beef and
less pork.

Fighting Rams.

A correspondent Of the Ohio Farmer
writes to that paper as follows:
At certain seasons of the year rams
are apt to develop their combative pro-
peDsities, and those who keep several of
them together often have trouble on ac-
count of their ipjuring each other. 1t
is we'll known that they always "back-
up" to get start to butt. Stop their
backing up aud you discomfort them en-
tirely. To do this, take a light stick
Ga piece Of broom handle will do about
two or two and a-half feet long Sharpen
one end and lash the other end securely
to his tail the sharpened end will then
draw harmlessly on the ground behind
as long as bis majesty goes straight
ahead about his business but Oh the
attempt to back-up he is astonished to
find an effectual brake in the rear.
Don't laugh and call this call gam
mon )" but if you have butting ram,
try it, and the time to laugh will be
when you see him jumping out side
ways, and whirl round and round, try
ing to inspect the machine, which will
keep behind him.

Spring Farm Cleaning.

While the wife cleans the house, let
the husband clean the farm. If vege-
table matter is left about the yard, its
rapid decay during the damp, warm
weather Of spring and summer, will
poison the air and affect the health OF
the family. If left about the barn, lots
or fields, it will have like influence on
the farm animals. Hogs are doubly
liable to be injured, for they not only
breathe the foul air, but nest in such
litter. Farm cleaning will save loss
from disease. The litter has great value
as fertilizer when properly applied.
The intelligent use of this manure in
sures better crops, and the farm is capa-
BILE of more thorough cultivation. And
then how much appearances are i'm
proved. Make bonfire Of wood, brush,
stumps, etc., not for fuel, and give the
charcoal to the swine and the ashes to
the fruit trees. Remember this work
is net complete till those stumps and
stones are removed which can be taken
out with q reasonable amount of labor
until the trees about the house and in
the orchard are all nicely pruned; until
the old growth is taken from raspber-
ries, goeseberries, currants, etc., until
the "unberbrush" is cleaned out of the
wood-lot until all the bitches are open.
ed and pools are drained in short, I'M
til the farm is clean and neat. Con-
veniently enough, nearly all, or all Of
this work, can be done before the spring
blowing is begun.-American Agrical.

Training Domestic Animals.

Neither the horse nor any other do
nestle animal should ever be made
afraid of man. The horse or COW that
is afraid Of its keeper will never thrive
as will the animal that has trusting
confidence 10 the hand that feeds aud
controls. 10 well trained animal good
behavior becomes u habit. 1t is just as
easy for a COW to stand with her legs in
the right as in the wrong plae, when
she is being miIkcd, aud it is not neces-
sary to continually pound her into sub
mission. Il is no hardship for a horse
to pull reasonable load or trot at a
reasonable gait, aud there is no neces-
sity for exciting his fears in order to
secure the desired result Let young

Transporting Cattle.

One of the feature. Of the interstate
commerce bill which is not generally
known yet, is that the railroad compa-
mics discriminate against the use of pat
cnt ears for the transportation of cattle,
aud the bill specifically prohibits such
Discrimination IN the future There are
about two hundred different kinds OF
pstenied cars. all having as their object
the more humane transportation of eat
tie. The railroad companies universally
for some reason always charged more
money for hauling such ears than they
did for hauling the ordinary cattle ears
The humane societies during the last
two years have made every possible effort
to secure better accommodations for the
more humane treatment of cattle in
transit. Their purpose was baked in a
large measure by the action of the rail-
road companies.

A Printers Mistake
Chicago journal

ChIcaeo journal
Speaking of typographical errors. not long ago
friend told me one of his experiences: During
the presidential cam paien of 1884 was connected
with an Indiana paper whose politics was decidily
Republican, and of course strongly advocated a
high tariff. There a church in the town
nearly every Der of which was Repu blcan,
and the mere men Aon of the removal of the tariff
was sufficient TO cause con venron. The church
announcements were usually made through the
medium of the before mentioned paper. And so
when one day the good deacons decided to set
apart a certain evening for special prayer for the
removal or the opium traffic, they sent a copy of
announcement to the newspaper for publication.
The copy was handed to a young lady com positor,
who aprarantly was unable to draw the line be-
tween politics and church affairs. and instead of
putting 1t 'opium traffic" made it read prayer
FOR the removal of the oppressive tariff. By
some chance the proof-reader failed to observe
the mistake. Great then was the horror ard in
dignation among the good Republican deacons
when they read that their church had set
aside a special evening to be devoted to prayer
for the removal of the oppressive tariff. Their
Democratic friends enjoyed their discontinue
very much. and the words oppressive tariff and
opium traffic becamea standing joke in the COM
munity for time.

LOVES DREAM FULFILLED.
A vassar Professor the Heroine of Pleasan
Little Story.

| A vassar Professor the Heroine of a Pleasant
Little Story.
Philadelphia Press.
The engagement is announced of Miss Pris-
ella Fl. Braislin, professor of mathematics at
Vassar College, to Mr.. Timothy Merrck, of
Holyoke Mass And about this engagement an
in Interesting story is told. Part of it has long
been unwritten college tradition
Miss Braislin was one of Vassars pillars. OF
all the teachers present at the June commence
ment this year there were only two who had
been continuously in the college since its founda-
tIon IN 1865. One was Professor Maria Mitchell
whom every body knows and the other Professor
Braislin. Professor Brajslin would be remem-
bered by anyone who ever bad the pleasure of
seeing her. One could not easily forget her
very fair and fresh complexion her bright. blue,
sympathetic eyes and her remarkable hair so
full. wavy and almost white. She is some
what above the medium height. with peculiarly
graceful carriage. She was the fayorite of all
and as the personifcation of alma mater
One of the ny traditions given to the girls
in their freshman years has been that Miss
Braslin had love affair. The story was that
when she went TO Pougnkeepsie to be the first
assistant in the chemical laboratory she either
then. had been engaged to be married
But something happened and her wedding day
never came 1t used to be told that her be-
trothed met some in time and got mar
ried and had children aud became very rich
Meanwhile Miss Braislin became professor of
matthew tics and labored assduously. She was
ope of the few Vassar instructors who did not
strike terror to the heart of the freshmen. She
cheered aud encourage Them and entertained
them at her parlors in the big building
While Professor Braisln was there winning
the affections of class after Glass; there came to
the institution two rich sisters students. 1t
deemed notable coincidence that there
should come under Miss Braisns charged as
teacher to two young women whose father-as
tradition hath twas Miss Braislin's early love-
Before they were graduated their mother died.
After the sisters came back from the funeral,
and from that time all through their stay at the
college, they were drawn close to the loyabe
teacher of mathematics.
Thereafter. of course. their father saw
thing of Miss Braislin. And to make this his
tory just as happy it should be- and taking
these events to a proper climax, the father at
the right time offered TO Miss Braislin himself
and his fortune and the motherhood Of the two
girls. She accepted.
Timothy Merrick. the man Miss Braisln will
marry. is one of the wealthiest and besr-known
man ufacturers of Holyoke. He Is about sixty
years old, and has spent most of his life in
Hoiyoke where he IS treasurer of the Merrick
Thread Company, which employs over one
thousand hands. and has a capital stock of $780,
